	Biography of Julia Grant
		Quite naturally, shy young Lieutenant Grant lost his heart to friendly Julia; and made his love known, as he said himself years later, "in the most awkward manner imaginable." She told her side of the story--her father opposed the match, saying, "the boy is too poor," and she answered angrily that she was poor herself.
		The means thus afforded and her widow's pension enabled her to live in comfort, surrounded by children and grandchildren, till her own death in 1902.
		She had attended in 1897 the dedication of Grant's monumental tomb in New York City where she was laid to rest.

		Below are two articles written by Frederick Dent Grant (1850-1912), the eldest son of Ulysses S. Grant.
		In private and in public he was a plain, dignified, undemonstrative man, with a quiet self-controlled manner which never left him, showing consideration in all his actions and words towards others which I have never seen equaled.
		On the battlefield General Grant would ride with his head erect from one point to another on his line where the heaviest fighting was heard, and though quiet in his movements, he seemed to take in account everything - the very smallest and seemingly unimportant details.
